Just a quickie: Lap Steel, 8-strings, E6th.
Lo-Hi: E G# B C# E G# B E
I'm currently using 54, 46, 36, 34, 28, 24, 16, 13,
(same as on my E6th reso) but I'm thinking maybe they should be lighter for the lap steel?
Betcha Erv answers first lol! |

Tony,
I compared your string gauges with a guide from John Ely and you are right in the ballpark, I wouldn't go any lighter.
You won your bet!
